Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted life and economic and social relations worldwide. People and organizations needed to adapt to a new reality, from social isolation, remote work and home office, to the use of new methodologies to communicate. In the case of universities, there was a suspension of activities and regulation of remote work, impacting teaching, research and, above all, extension. And it was in this scenario that the present work investigated the activities of the Junior Companies - UFRN's EJ'S, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020. It was observed that in this period the 30 UFRN's EJ's carried out more than 1800 projects, using several digital tools and their social networks, to act and communicate with society in general, including contributing to actions to combat COVID-19 and supporting companies in the recovery of the economy.
